Sand from Different Beaches in the World

I think the rotating photos create a poor UX. The purpose of this layout it seems is to let users view the images carefully and study the details, but the slideshow effect makes that difficult.

I agree, furthermore the two dots at the bottom of each "slideshow" feel like poor design

Why overlay anything on top of something like that?

From a casual browsing perspective, I liked it. However, it'd be nice to have it pause when you hover over one - or something like that. To get the best of both worlds.

I mean if your intent is to view the images carefully and study the details why not click through to the details page and see larger, more detailed photos?

Because I'd like to look at the image I'm looking at at the moment I'm looking at it.

I found the page frustrating and overwhelming and had to close it.
